Synopsis "Gracie's Wheels"
Gracie's Wheels shares the story of a young girl who lost both her legs in a car accident. Prior to her accident Gracie was naturally athletic. After the accident Gracie was determined to compete again, in her wheelchair. As the story unfolds we watch on the sidelines as Gracie starts high school and the distain she faces from some of her classmates. Her one constant friend Molly is always there to support her and her main 'crush' Robbie enters her life as a full-time trainer because Gracie wants to enter the next Paralympic Games. Over the next two years with the help of Robbie and Coach Mac the High School basketball coach, Gracie learns just how strenuous and physically exhausting training can be. She relentlessly adapts to weight training, rope climbing, swimming and racing around tracks to improve her racing time. As this period of training progresses Gracie and Robbie get closer emotionally even though Robbie still pushes her to do better. Training at the track at Queens University in Kingston and swimming at the university pool builds up Gracie's upper body strength as she prepares for the pre-trials for the Paralympics. Can she successfully qualify for the Paralympic Games?
